Academics

“Our core curriculum remains as innovative today as when it was created half a century ago. The team teaching model compels students to integrate knowledge from across academic fields while wrestling with the 'big questions' of the human experience.”

“The atmosphere of warm collegiality, engaged students and interdisciplinary collaboration make USAO such a wonderful place to teach and learn. Its extraordinary liberal arts curriculum empowers students and faculty alike.”

“As a faculty member, the small class sizes allow me to engage and challenge students on an individual level. I am able to help my students outside of class on a daily basis as they work through difficult problems and projects.”

“USAO offers the opportunity to be part of a caring, interactive community where a college student can receive personal attention. The transition from high school to the responsibilities of productive adulthood can be difficult.”
